President Trump issued a raft of executive orders that effectively block migrants from entering the United States and applying for asylum, closing off major legal channels for immigration.
Restored to power, President Trump claimed that God put him there and asserted the right to single-handedly redraw the world map as he sees fit.
The Trump White House has told three Democratic-selected members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board to resign or be fired, which would stop the independent agency from functioning.
Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys and Stewart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers asserted that they wanted President Trump to seek revenge on their behalf for being prosecuted in connection with the Jan. 6 riot.

President Trump’s new executive order targets two types of babies born in the U.S., but implementing it could defy the Constitution.
On Inauguration Day, President Trump signed a flurry of executive orders, including one attacking birthright citizenship. Birthright citizenship is the practice of granting anyone born on U.S. soil (with the exception of children of foreign diplomats) U.S. citizenship. It dates back to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

If the Galaxy S24 series heralded the triumphant arrival of Galaxy AI, then the S25 and S25 Plus may be a bit of a comedown: they promise more AI that’s smarter and sometimes slightly faster. You’d better like it because that’s pretty much all you’re gonna get.

Stylus still included.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra, announced today, sheds more of its Note roots this year with rounded corners and flat edges that align it more with the rest of the S series. It comes with Qualcomm’s latest chipset, an upgraded ultrawide camera, and not much else, hardware-wise. With no price increase over last year’s model — starting at $1,299 — it’s a light refresh of Samsung’s biggest phone, with a major emphasis on One UI 7.0’s AI upgrades.

You can still wave it around like a magic wand, but the phone won’t do anything.
During a media briefing on the new S25 series last...

Ahead of Mickey 17’s debut in a few weeks, Warner Bros. has dropped a new trailer that really makes the film’s vision of terraforming alien planets look like absolute hell — at least for the working class.
Everyone has an important role to play in Mickey 17’s take on a future where humanity is trying to colonize other worlds. But in the new trailer, it’s clear that Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) has no idea what he’s agreeing to when he signs up to...
